In general, MinGW-w64 2.0.x found in Ubuntu 12.04 (=2.0.1) or Ubuntu 12.10 (=2.0.3) and other fairly up-to-date distros is recent enough to build openvpn and it's dependencies using [wiki:BuildingUsingGenericBuildsystem openvpn-build/generic]. However, the latest version of openvpn-gui (as of July 2012) requires backporting some patches from mingw SVN trunk to mingw 2.0.x codebase. These patches are attached to this Wiki page for your convenience.
